Ex-Governor CURTIN, whose Off
cial career came to an end on the 4th
of March, when congress adjourned,
leaves the political stage with the un-
biased esteem and friendliest feelings of
his constituents and the following ac-
count from the Philadelphia Times a
gain displays bis broad and liberal
views, promptedby large and kindly
heart: Wien the Governor was Min
lister to St. Petersburg he was present
ed with a handsome and valuable pair
of sleeve but tons by the Gar
of Russia. Not long since one of
the buttons was lost. One of the
Governors most intimate friends in
the House was General Oates of Ala
bama, a dashing Conderate officer
who followed Lee in his campaign
through Pennsylvania aud carries an
armless sleeve as an evidence of his
presenc at Gettysburg. Just before
Congress adjourned the Governor
gracefully placed the button in the
shirt cuff and said to General Oates
that he desired to leave with him
memento that as onPennsylYania soil,
perhaps by Pennsylvania gun in the
hands of Pennsylvania soldier, be
lost his arm, he wanted to present
him with the button as an evidence
that be, the Executive of the state at
the time of the struggle had forgotten
the past and would bind the wounds
of his foes with ribbons of love and
good fellowship.

WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our regular correspondent


WASHINGTON, Mar. IA, 1887.
The question of an extra session of
the Fifueth Congress to begin in Octo
Der and run into the regular session, Is
now topic of speculation here. Otli-
GERS of the Executive Department hope
such a calamity will be averted, as the
President is reported us saying that he
would not call Congress together unless
it became necessary, in order to avoid 4
financial depression. Officers of the De-
partments have a much happier life
when Congress is away. for with it al
WAYS comes horde of Office hunters
which fingers as long as the session
lasts.
But the business of this great cOun-
try has grown too vast to be carried on
by the methods which served well
enough half century ago. Not one
tenth of the work that Congress ought
to do eyer gets done at all, and one of
the chief reasons for this is the waste
of time from March to January. for
although Congress meets on the first
Monday in December, it never gets
down to business before the holidays.
The cure for this is in the Presidents
hands. The Fiftieth Congress began
| It's OFFICIAL eAlSleuCG Oll ltlG ttll Va lHIc
month and it's members are now on
paw. He has only to exercise his prero-
gative OF conveningCongress and point
ing out the work which most needs its
attention. If he neglects TO do this. he
will be largely responsible for the fail
ure of necessary legislation.
The Democratic party promises to be
| weakened in the next Congress even
beyond its present conditio". The
Fiftipth Congress will come in with
| thirds Of the Democrats new men,
and those who have studied its cOmpO-
ston carefully since the election agree
that the personnel is weak. n Demo-
cratic member who was talking on the
subject recently, acknowledged that ev-
erylhing in the last House went to the
bad, as far as the party was concerned.
| for want of a leader, and he added that
the next House would be Il mere play
thing in the hands of the Republicans
on account OF the new recruits on the
other side who are utterly without eX-
perience or reputation. 1t requires an
apprenticeship of two years for man
to learn the parliamentary rules and
working methods of Congress, and in
the matter of leadership the Republi-
cans stood in bold contrast to the Dem
ocrats in the House which has just
closed its existence.

GEORGE JONES, the proprietor of the
New York Times who lately arrived
in New York from California in an
interview, in which conversation led
to the presidential campaign of 1888,
stated that his paper will not support
Blaine for president. He SAYS that the
Times opposed Mr.. Blaine in 1884
and will oppose him again if he is
nominated next year. Who the repub-
licans will nominate | cannot tell. Mr..
Blaine may get the nomation, but he
will never be elected. IF | were allow
ed to place a man in nomination for
the presidency | would name Judge
Walter @. Gresham, of Indiana.
Cleveland will be nominated by the
democrats for reelection. He is the
best man in the party.

went TO Judge Burlingame and told him
that Mays family were in destitute cireum-
stances and that if he could be let OF
he would give both him and his
